Harvesting our Pumpkins.

We decided with the recent weather change that today was as good as any to harvest our pumpkins. The leaves have started to die back and deteriorate and I didn't want mold or mildew effecting the pumpkins. We ended up with 12 good size pumpkins, we won't carve them just yet, but they are on the front porch for the little ones to enjoy. Brandon is understanding harvest and Halloween for the first real time this year. He starts preschool the 9th of October, and I am sure they will be doing projects for Halloween to further his understanding of the fun holiday. We have been doing a lot of projects around here lately too, between the "home-made" Halloween costumes, baking Halloween themed gluten-free cupcakes, to making our home-made candy corn hair clips for Brianna....I am really enjoying the little ones being old enough to enjoy doing little projects and crafts. As always when fall is in the air, I do get a little saddened that I can't stay home with them full-time, but I do treasure every moment I get to spend with them! The older ones are not into any of the projects, but hey Bill is starting to take an interest! :) Just look at him harvesting the pumpkins :) AND we got fall bulbs planted today too!!!!
